We knew it was coming. We knew Lavoy Allen would be given an offer. So, the Sixers can match any offer given to him during the off-season. But, I really don’t see him getting any offers. Allen did great in the playoffs but I’m nowhere convinced he should be a full-time starter.

Jodie Meeks hasn’t been offered anything…yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jodie wasn’t offered anything either. I’ll get to Lou Williams and Spencer Hawes later. For some reason, I think Elton will not be amnestied. I’m having a change of heart. In any case, Allen still wouldn’t start if Brand were gone.

And so, the Sixers’ off-season pretty much begins!
